<Overall review>

The descendent of the warriors who once fought on the front line against the invading monsters. A naive and kind child who became twisted due to the horrible things that he had to face, though he doesn't look like it, he is a schycopath who seeks blood for his ancestor's death, pray that you are not his enemy.

___________

Roger was frozen stiff seeing the two status windows that were floating in front of him.

Although not as detailed as his status page, it showed pretty much all the needed information about the people in front of him.

But that wasn't the reason why he was shocked! The status windows that were hovering in front of him were directly pointing to two of his closest servants. It was none other than Linda, his personal maid who was politely bowing to him, and Harry, his driver who was currently smiling like a naive child!

'Hey System! What the hell is this?'

He asked hurridly not knowing how to react to the things in front of him.

[I knew that you were dumb but not to this extent!]

'Shut the hell up, and explain what's happening here?"

[Of course, it's showing their status!]

'Oh great! I didn't know that! why the hell is it showing their status damn it!'

He said getting annoyed by the system.

[How dumb can you be? it's your skill 'Eye of the Vengeance', you moron. It activates whenever it finds a person holding a grudge against someone, it doesn't matter to whom he is having a grudge but it detects the 'hate' in him and predicts his possible powers] 

'Whoa..! isn't that pretty cheat-like!'

well...it is or... maybe... who knows how accurate the predictions of the opponent's powers are?

Setting the matter of his skills aside for now. Roger looked at the two acting masters in front of him and gulped down his saliva.

The only two people that he thought were loyally following him and the only people he thought as good people among the Taylor family mansion turned out to be spies. Why the hell are the things getting complicated right when he was about to have some good days in his life?

And by the looks of things, It seemed like they had someone to back them up, I mean what are the odds of two people from a fallen warrior family invading the Taylor main household while hiding their identities.

It was almost impossible if they were alone, a major force must have helped them to get in!

But it was surprising, how they both dared to enter the dragon's den even when knowing that a slight leak in their information could lead to their immediate death.

It seemed like they had a deep grudge against someone in the Taylor family, maybe it was the fourth son who always acted like a Tyrant, or is it the third son, who was a complete psychopath? or maybe the snake is like 5th daughter?

'It doesn't matter!'

Roger brushed those thoughts out of his mind.

Now that he is getting out of the Taylor household, it didn't matter to him what happened to them, more than him being concerned, it was like he was too powerless to do anything even while knowing that.

What could he probably do to a C-rank hunter when he himself was a mere F-rank, they would kill him over a hundred times before he got the chance to attack.

To be honest, it didn't matter to him if the sibling had some grudge with the Taylor family, since all he cared was about the safety of himself and his wife. And how could someone hate his lovely wife? They wouldn't pull Hestia into their mess, right?

Coming back to the present, Roger calmed down a bit and said.

"Yeah let's go, Linda, Harry!"

since there was nothing he could do by thinking so much, he just decided to leave the matter aside for now, and if they ever dared to do something funny for his wife or himself, he could just inform his father-in-law about them, and he would take care of everything.

In fact, it would be better to keep them near him for now, since even though his father-in-law has assured him that no one would disturb him for six months but who knows what might happen and there is no way that the siblings would try to harm him when they would be the first to be suspected if anything happened to him, though that was if there thinking was sane...

Anyway, he left the matter aside for now, He decide to just leave the house as soon as possible.

He hurriedly moved towards the study where his beautiful wife was working busily on some documents.

Seeing the hair that was being caressed by the gentle wind and the glowing skin that was immersed in study.

Ahh...Roger wished he could just forget about everything else and just stare at her all day!

But that wasn't possible now, is it? After watching her for some time, he went onto her table and sat in front of her, on a chair.

"Roger, Why were you staring at me like that?"

Asked Hestia with a slight smile, Now it wasn't possible to deceive the senses of the 59th world ranker, does it?

But Roger didn't mind it, he gave her a warm smile, " Do I need a reason to look at my wife?"

"ah! You have become cheeky!" He continued "How was the talk with father?"

Now that she had asked, Roger told her everything that happened in her father's office and broke the news to her that he was going away for six months.

Hestia was adamant about Roger going alone and was about to run to her father to ask him to allow her to go with him but Roger confirmed to her that he would be fine.

It was a pain to persuade her, but Roger somehow managed to convince her and after spending some time with her, he was ready to set out. 

With an Assassin driving his car and a Witch sitting beside him, He was about to embark on a new adventure!

It was sure going to be a hell experience!!

Though they started to awaken irregularly after the great disaster, there were too many unanswered questions about them. How did they get their power? what were the conditions to get that power? and how can they become strong? there were just too many questions to list. But after long and tedious research, scientists have managed to answer some of them. How did the awakened get their power? It was due to the presence of mana which was previously absent on the Earth before the great disaster.

    "Noah Taylor...? Why is he here'' Park hyungsung, the report that was waiting for Roger in the parking lot said to see a familiar face in the center of the gathering. Noah Taylor, the 6th son of the Taylors, although not as popular as his other siblings, was quite a popular person. He was a C- rank awakener, although C-rank may seem good in the eyes of common people, the descendent of Taylors being in the C-rank even after 8 years of awakening was shameful for Taylors. 'I didn't think there would be a bigger headline than the Awakening of Useless son-in-law!' It was only before a week that he got a call, informing him that Roger Taylor would be there on Awakener's association for registering himself as a Hunter, Even though Roger is considered a worthless son-in-law by the Taylors, the World nonetheless deemed him as a Taylor, so it was natural that any news about them would be trending. Reporter Park thought that it would be a major headline about his awakening, but seeing as the

    Noah Taylor, a kind and warm person, at least that's how the world has known him. 'There can't be anything more contrast than that', Thought Linda seeing Noah Taylor in midst of the reporters. With black hair and brown eyes, he was quite a good-looking man, who would leave a good impression at first sight! But the reality couldn't be any further... He was an outcast among the Taylors, being born as the second child of Vincent Taylor's third wife, he was treated as a worthless tool. All the nine children of Vincent Taylor, except Noah, were genius who excelled in various fields. He was like a rotten apple amidst the fruits, though the apple may seem like a luxury for commoners, a rotten fruit nonetheless was disregarded. Even though he was a C-rank hunter at the age of 25, he wasn't given any attention by his father or family. It was precisely because he was overshadowed by the monstrous talent of his siblings. Amidst his monstrous siblings, he was seen as nothing but ordinary. A

    Without saying much after his interest-piquing words, Roger with Linda entered the association. The media also exploded as a result of his surprising words, and numerous predictions concerning what his words implied started to arouse all around the country. While Roger was obvious to any of that, He went on his way to take the test. Shortly afterward they were greeted by a lady in formals and were led to the examination point. "Only examinees are allowed past this point!", the lady said politely. Roger who understood her, turned to Linda, "Wait in the reception, I will be back after the test" Linda nodded her head, "good luck with the exam master, I am sure you will get a good score" Roger smiled at her entering the examination center. It was an enormous hall with many chairs placed in an orderly manner at a certain distance apart. Roger was led to his seat and was told to wait until the examiner arrives there. Not long after a man holding a set of papers entered the room, He

    "I want to take both the tests, Sir" Roger said standing in between the two groups! Joshua who was about to start examining the candidates looked at him. All the other cadet's also turned towards him as they found a new cadet wanting to take both tests surprising. 'Is that the famous Useless Son-in-law of the Taylors?' He thought looking at Roger. 'He wants to do both the Physical test and skill manifestation test? Usually, it's recommended to focus on only one... Is he trying to show off now? ' He glared at Roger thinking that he is using the chance to show off, but Roger didn't back down, he stood his ground against the S-rank. 'Well, it's none of my business!' "Come forward, we will do your test first" Honestly, he just wanted to get done with the test and go home, He was already too tired that he didn't want to even argue with anyone. Roger nodded his head walking ahead. he could sense cold gazes from other cadets but it wasn't anything new for him who was practically tre

    Everyone present in the hall was filled with astonishment and surprise at the sudden appearance of a new record from the person they least expected anything from. 'Does this mean the new record holder is him?' 'Wow! I never knew that the Useless loser of the Taylors could give us such a surprise!' 'A Taylor is a Taylor, nonetheless!' Be it the candidates or the examiners they were all standing staring at Roger in awe except one person that is! 'What did I see just now? Did he really hold back his power at the last movement!!?' Others may have not noticed this, but he couldn't deceive the eyes of an S-rank! Joshua clearly saw that at the last movement when the fist was about to collide with the machine, Roger pulled his hand! He didn't know why he did that but... 'If the power he displayed while holding back is 1.25 then how much would the score have been if he punched with his full force!!' It definitely would have exceeded the world record by a large margin! A super rookie

    20 minutes after Roger started running while chasing the pathfinder light that appeared, he arrived at a cliff.And when he looked down, there Roger saw a Hobo goblin, which was the boss monster of the dungeon sitting on some kind of a throne while being surrounded by some of the normal goblins.Just as Roger looked at the monster, the hobgoblin also noticed the presence of Roger and turned to look up.Grahhhh–The horrible shriek of the monster was heard as it looked at Roger.Roger felt as if his ears were going to burst and covered his ears with both his hands.But there was still a small smile on his face.‘If I had gone through the left path, it would have taken me at least 50 minutes to come here while fighting off the monsters but now thanks to the skill upgrade, it was almost reduced by half!’Thinking as such Roger held the spear in his hand and jumped down the cliff without wasting any more time.‘Wind Stride’He used the wind stride but he didn’t use it to slow down his fal
